#wrightitwithdance

Thank you to everyone who came out to experience ‘buya,’ @mathetadance latest work by Artistic Director @khen.sunny at Speak Through Movement 2019. Khensani, I am so proud to be your Company Manager. Friday night was magical, and it will forever be in my memory bank of moments to cherish. Thank you to @dance2deliver for starting the night off right, with some evoking contemporary dance and video projection! And thank you to our Front of House and Technical Staff for putting out all fires so that we could focus on the dance 🎉. Guys, putting on productions is a TEAM EFFORT. So many parts have to come together. We sold out the house for our first self-produced concert! Hopefully the first of many to come 🙏🏿✨❤️ . . . captured by @artphotofilms #speakthroughmovement #mathetadance #motionpicture #wrightitwithdance #muscles #dance #movement #actionphotography (at Grateful) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx7MUs_lgO-/?igshid=16ald0ofvvb8a

...from backstage to onstage, I enjoyed every minute of this weekend. Thank you Carolyn for giving me the opportunity to perform Lifeline, a piece that has grown near and dear to my heart. So many lessons in this work! Not to mention, these custom-made costumes SLAY! Wish I could keep mine and where it out! lol but seriously this weekend reminded me of my greatest joy...performing onstage in front of a receptive audience with other dancers that are just as generous backstage as they are on stage. And I will never take any chance I am given to do just that for granted! So thank you Carolyn and thank you to my co-workers for making my first CDD Gala Season so great! ✨ #inmyhappyplace #wrightitwithdance (at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC))

Takin’ Wakanda to the Streets! ✨🙅🏾‍♀️ . . . For all those wondering why #BlackPanther is such a big deal, the answer is simple. Imagery is powerful. The images we see everyday that circulate in the mainstream, the images we allow into our psyche...these images shape how we view the world and our own relation to it. Ideas of beauty, power, excellence, intelligence, bravery, virtuosity...ALL shaped by imagery. And then a movie like this comes out. And the little girl in me, the one who grew up wondering why none of the Disney princesses had dark skin...why no (mainstream) stories of magic and fantasy ever came out of Africa, the one that longed to see someone who looked like me actually “win” and actually be on top...the little girl in me is overwhelmed with gratitude. Finally ✨....There are much deeper reasons as to why this movie is so great ofcourse! But for now I’ll stick with this lol :) ... so if you haven’t already GO SEE BLACK PANTHER #wrightitwithdance (at Kingdom of Wakanda)

Dance gives me access to a part of my inner self I wouldn't other wise have access to, or even know existed. Not sure what to call this "part" of my inner self...but access to it is something I crave. It is divine, I feel like. And the more disciplined I am, in all aspects of life, the deeper the access gets. So thank you, Dance...for being the catalyst that compels me to be a better me :) #WrightItWithDance . . . 📸: @sigismondiphotography . . . #newbeginnings #sayitoutloud #wrightitwithdance #willittobetrue #artispowerful #danceispowerful #dance #dancer #nyc #nycdancer #innerself #innerpeace #innerchi #lifeforce #worldpeace #whitedress #afro #afrohair #blackgirl #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlswhoblog #blackdancersmatter #blackdancers #blackexcellence #nycskyline #brooklyn #williamsburg #browngirlsdoballet #browngirls #browngirlswhoblog #innerthoughts (at Williamsburg, Brooklyn)
